Upgrade versions

If you already have Foswiki version an earlier version 1.1.X installed

File	GPG	MD5	Description
Foswiki-upgrade-1.1.6.tgz	GPG	MD5	upgrade tar gz version of Foswiki
Foswiki-upgrade-1.1.6.zip	GPG	MD5	upgrade zip version of Foswiki

The upgrade packages exclude the files that are typically changed when you customize your installation. The upgrade package can be copied on top of an existing running 1.1.X installation for a quick upgrade to 1.1.6. See Installation section for details.

Upgrading to 1.1.6 from a 1.0.X release using the upgrade package is known to have issues. Copying a 1.1.6 upgrade package on top of a 1.0 will leave a lot obsolete files behind which could cause trouble. Using a LocalSite.cfg file from a 1.0 system will appear to work, but will cause significant issues with QuerySearch. Migration from Foswiki 1.0 to any release of 1.1 should be done using a reinstall.

Upgrade Instructions

New Sandbox.WebHome is included

The upgrade packages include the Sandbox.WebHome topic. If you have a customized Sandbox WebHome topic, the upgrade package will overlay it.

New setting needed for PatternSkin

If PatternSkin is installed on an older Foswiki, or the Foswiki-upgrade package is used to upgrade an existing Foswiki system, there is a new required setting that must be added to Main.SitePreferences.

   * Set PATTERNSKIN_JQUERY_THEME = PatternSkinTheme

The new System.DefaultPreferences topic shipped with the upgrade package does have this setting, but if you have customized you DefaultPreferences, then this needs to be added.

Also, you'll need to go through one save cycle of configure to register the new JQuery pattern theme in the configuration. (If configure reports no changes, make a minor change and save again, and configure will merge in the changed settings). Or edit the LocalSite.cfg file by hand and add

$Foswiki::cfg{JQueryPlugin}{Themes}{PatternSkinTheme}{Url} = '$Foswiki::cfg{PubUrlPath}/$Foswiki::cfg{SystemWebName}/PatternSkinTheme/jquery-ui.css';
$Foswiki::cfg{JQueryPlugin}{Themes}{PatternSkinTheme}{Enabled} = 1;

Other important things to know.

Most extensions released with Foswiki 1.1.6 have converted to formal perl version strings. version->declare('v1.1.6'). The PatchFoswikiContrib must be installed on older versions of Foswiki before installing any of these extensions on older Foswiki versions. Note that they have not been tested on Foswiki 1.0
